I just dug through my stash-keeping spread sheet to find out, when my last finished knit … well was finished. It turned out to date back to February, which actually makes sense, since it was just before we moved house. The last finished pair of socks is even further back (in early December), so it is high time that knitting and especially knitted socks return to this blog.

The finish is a pair of socks in left-over yarn. The are for a good friend, who loves handknit socks, but loathes long socks, thus the ancle lenght. I ran out of yarn (MacKintosh Celtic, a sadly discontinued yarn) near the toe of sock number two, but I had a bit in another colour. A purple toe luckily doesn’t have to be a bad thing. I remember starting these just after we moved, so my knitting speed has been at snails pace. But the enjoyment is coming back and knitting and me are slowly warming to each other. And thus another UFO has left area 51 and is ready to warm a pair of feet on a cool autumn day.

There are are many lovely comments already on the giveaway post with Lene Holme Samsøe’s new booklet, but if you haven’t seen it before and still wants in on the chance of winning the booklet (in Danish), there is still a chance to leave a comment on the blog post before the end of today.
